The system equipped with an ultra-sensitive camera, a
heated stage and gas anesthesia connections for mouse anesthesia (isoflurane).
It is designed for bioluminescence and fluorescence measurement in anesthetized
animal.

An adjustable field of view from 5 to 24 cm allows
imaging of up to 5 mice at the same time. It can also accommodate Petri dishes
or micro-titer plates for in vitro imaging.

The SkyScan 1076 scanner is designed for mouse, rat or ex-vivo imaging,
at pixel sizes of 9, 18 and 35 µm. Variable X-ray voltage and filters provide
scanning flexibility for imaging a wide range of samples ranging from lung
tissue to bone with titanium implants. A physiological monitoring system
provides breathing and heart-beat gating for thoracic image improvement by
synchronized acquisition.

The Micro CT Scan is located in the D Building, 3rd floor, room D325

LaVisionBiotec Ultramicroscope

(Light Sheet Microscope)

A few technical facts about the system currently installed:

The UltraMicroscope II has a bidirectional triple light sheet technology.

This technology allows to generate 6 focused light sheets to excite samples from the side while the fluorescence light is detected by a sCMOS camera perpendicular to the illumination plane.
